  In the mating part structure of the instrument panel and cluster panel, it is required that the appearance of the mating part can be ensured, that even if touched by hand, it is not damaged, that is, the hazard is low, and the mold structure is not complicated. The However, in the conventional mating portion structure, the appearance deteriorates due to variations in part accuracy, and in order to avoid the appearance deterioration due to the step of the parting line, high accuracy control of the mold is required, and the terminal portion of the cluster panel is further improved. If touched, there is a possibility of being scratched, and there is a problem that the harm is not low.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional situation, and can provide an automobile mating part structure that can avoid deterioration of the appearance of the mating part, can easily manage the precision of the mold, and is less harmful. Is an issue.

The present invention relates to an automobile mating portion structure that aligns a peripheral edge of an opening formed in an instrument panel and an outer peripheral edge of a cluster panel that is disposed in the opening and holds a vehicle-mounted component.
The outer surface of the outer peripheral edge of the cluster panel is positioned outward with respect to the outer surface of the opening peripheral edge of the instrument panel, and the parting line of the outer peripheral edge of the cluster panel is placed on the outer peripheral end surface of the cluster panel. A chamfered portion that is set to be located outward from the outer surface of the instrument panel and that extends from the outer surface of the instrument panel to the outer surface of the outer peripheral edge of the outer peripheral edge of the outer peripheral edge of the cluster panel. It is characterized by the formation.

  According to the mating portion structure according to the present invention, since the outer surface of the outer peripheral edge of the cluster panel is located outward with respect to the outer surface of the opening peripheral edge of the instrument panel, even if the accuracy of both parts varies Since the step or gap between the opening peripheral edge of the instrument panel and the outer peripheral edge of the cluster panel is difficult to see from the line of sight of the seated occupant, the appearance can be improved.

  Further, since the parting line at the outer peripheral edge of the cluster panel is positioned on the outer peripheral end face of the cluster panel, no step is generated in the parting line, and the appearance can be improved from this point. In addition, the molds can be easily aligned, and the mold structure can be simplified.

Furthermore, since the chamfered portion is formed on the outer peripheral edge portion of the cluster panel so as to extend from the outer peripheral end surface to the outer surface of the outer peripheral edge portion, the outer peripheral terminal of the cluster panel inevitably has an obtuse angle. There is an effect that there is no damage and the harm is low.

It is a front view for demonstrating the matching part structure of the motor vehicle based on Example 1 of this invention. It is a cross-sectional side view (II-II line cross-sectional view of FIG. 1) of the mating portion structure. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional side view (a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in FIG. 1) of the mating portion structure. It is a cross-sectional side view (IV partial enlarged view of FIG. 2, FIG. 3) of the said matching part structure.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1-4 is a figure for demonstrating the matching part structure of the motor vehicle based on Example 1 of this invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a resin instrument panel which is provided on a dashboard disposed in front of a passenger compartment and supports various instruments. The instrument panel 1 is formed with a substantially trapezoidal cluster opening 1a having upper and lower lateral sides 1g and 1g 'and left and right vertical sides 1h and 1h'. The cluster opening 1a is provided with a resin cluster panel 2 having a substantially trapezoidal shape including upper and lower horizontal sides 2j and 2j 'and left and right vertical sides 2k and 2k'.

The cluster panel 2 is attached to the instrument panel 1 by engaging a plurality of locking pieces 2d, 2e, 2f protruding on the back surface with locking holes 1b, 1c, 1d formed in the instrument panel 1. It has been.

The cluster panel 2 is used to collectively support a plurality of in-vehicle components. The cluster panel 2 of this embodiment supports a navigation opening 2a that supports the navigator 3 and an air outlet 4 of the air conditioner. A blowout opening 2b and a hazard opening 2c for supporting the hazard switch 4 are formed.

  The alignment according to the first embodiment is applied to the alignment portion of the peripheral edge portion 1e of the upper horizontal side portion 1g of the cluster opening 1a formed in the instrument panel 1 and the outer peripheral edge portion 2g of the upper horizontal side portion 2j of the cluster panel 2. Partial structure is applied.

In the mating portion structure, the outer surface b of the outer peripheral edge 2g of the cluster panel 2 is located outward (upward) by h1 with respect to the outer surface a of the peripheral edge 1e of the cluster opening 1a of the instrument panel 1. ing.

Further, the parting line PL of the outer peripheral edge 2g of the cluster panel 2 is located on the outer peripheral end face 2h of the cluster panel 2. In addition, the parting line PL means the division line of the 1st metal mold | die 6a and the 2nd metal mold | die 6b divided | segmented for resin molding.

Furthermore, the outer peripheral edge 2g of the cluster panel 2 has a height h2 so as to extend from a portion slightly higher than the outer surface a of the instrument panel 1 to the outer surface b of the outer peripheral edge 2g. A chamfered portion 2i is formed. The sandwich angle α formed between the outer peripheral end surface 2h and the chamfered portion 2i is, for example, an obtuse angle of about 120 °, and the sandwich angle β formed between the outer surface b of the chamfered portion 2i and the outer peripheral edge 2g is, for example, about 150 °. The obtuse angle. In addition, you may form the circular arc surface (R part) which makes the straight line along the said chamfering part 2i, and the straight line along the said outer surface b a tangent in the part of the said sandwiching angle (beta).

  According to the mating portion structure according to the first embodiment, the outer surface b of the outer peripheral edge 2g of the cluster panel 2 is outward (upward) with respect to the outer surface a of the peripheral edge 1e of the cluster opening 1a of the instrument panel 1. Even if there is a variation in the accuracy of both parts, the step h3 between the peripheral edge 1e of the cluster opening 1a of the instrument panel 1 and the outer peripheral edge 2g of the cluster panel 2 is seen from the line of sight E of the seated occupant. Alternatively, since the gap d is difficult to see, the appearance is good.

  In addition, since the parting line PL of the outer peripheral edge 2g of the cluster panel 2 is positioned on the outer peripheral end surface 2h of the cluster panel 2, there is no step in the parting line PL. It can be improved, the molds can be easily combined, and the mold structure can be simplified. Note that the die-cutting direction of the second mold 6b located on the cluster panel 2 side with respect to the parting line PL is set larger obliquely upward in FIG. 4 than the inclination angle of the chamfered portion 2i.

Furthermore, since the chamfered portion 2i extending from the outer peripheral end surface 2h to the outer surface b of the outer peripheral edge 2g is formed on the outer peripheral edge 2g of the cluster panel 2, the outer peripheral terminal of the cluster panel 2 inevitably has an angle α Since it becomes an obtuse angle like this, even if it touches, it is not damaged, and there is an effect that harm is low.
